Default Sidecar

Hello to all,
I own a 2004 Ultra Classic which I dearly love, but due to an accident I am not sure I can hold it up any more. I am looking into the possibility of purchasing a sidecar for it. Can anyone tell me what years of sidecars will bolt up to my bike? All the Harley sidecars look the same but if I purchase a used one I would like to be sure it would fit.
Can anyone shed some light for me?
Thanks Rick

Sorry, but I can't answer your sidecar question. I'm sure someone will come up with an answer for you though.

Welcome from TN. Sidecars are pretty neat, but they can be a handful sometimes. Have you thought about a trike Harley?

Like John TN said, a Trike might be a better investment for you. Good luck.

I've owned a sidecar and loved it. I still wanted to get out on two wheels so I ended up selling it but if I had your problem I would have no questions about going back to one. You can pack a lot of crap for trips if you don't have a passenger.

Go to your dealer and check what years fit what. They have not made in major frame changes on the baggers for awhile so most of the Harley later model sidecars should fit. Make sure you have someone with experience set it up for you because it's a little complicated to get the bike and car to track correctly.
